Sheesus, how catchy do you want it?

Truth is, Folie A Deux is Fall Out Boy’s catchiest album. Yes, the songs all seem quite similar, yet it doesn’t become dull. Because yes, they’ve become a Pop Rock band, and do you know how they gained the label Pop? Pop is catchy, fancy that.

“The (Shipped) Gold Standard” is so not Maroon 5.

The choruses aren’t as catchy, unless you’re a ‘tween girl’? Oh, aren’t you wrong.

Not only do you copy the same formula as every other Fall Out Boy review; saying Fall Out Boy is just an emo band, supported by teen girls, then you are just plain delusional.

Writing that they are like Maroon 5, then supporting it with other reviews from a magazine such as ‘Entertainment Weekly’?

Hey, I know I won’t like your next review.

Damn, (coffee’s for closers) is THE catchiest song on the album,
i can’t stop singing “We will never believe again” when it comes up, plus the ending is epic.

lol they rather , Radiohead….
Maroon 5, is way different…
to me music is about taste and if fall out boy is (not saying that u said that) so bad they would be out of business and dont say that is because of his media whore behaviour….

I am sorry to be so harsh…

But what a load of shit!

What is with these reviews, huh?

Folie a Deux is the best and most original FOB album and every track is unique. And catchy! How can you say the choruses are not catchy?

Amazing album.
Bad review.

I actually cannot understand why people don’t like this album.

Well, erikm, at least some people agree with me:

Entertainment Weekly on Infinity on High- “it turns out these pasty emo boys are a pretty great blue-eyed soul band. Infinity ain’t exactly Thriller â€” but Maroon 5 better watch their backs.”

And from the site, justafan.tandrew.com-”The (Shipped) Gold Standard- This could be a Maroon 5 song.”

Just defending myself buddy, maybe you’ll like my next review better.

Can’t say i agree with your review at all. The fact that you compared FOB to Maroon 5 proves that you clearly don’t understand the music Patrick and his friends produce. Your review was simply poor. This could possibly be the best FOB album to date (they were nominated for a grammy before…). The lyrics were beyond your comprehension and transcend your description of “catchy” lyrics.

you fail

I got a bit of FOB nostalgic the other day and mashed Thnks Fr Th Mmrs + Girls Aloud’s ‘No Good Advice’ …
Thnks Fr the Good Advice.

You might enjoy it?

I have no doubt that they will do that. Pete might be too busy to write, you know… with a new baby and having anal sex with Ashlee and all..

And Patrick may want to produce a hip hop record… just kidding. Sorta.

Gotta agree with you, PMA. This was definitely a FOB album, but I felt chronically unimpressed. The songs are catchy the first few times around, but not ones that I want to go back and listen to over and over. Maybe it will grow on me? If it doesn’t, I want FOB to take a year off and chill out, reflect, and get inspired, instead of rushing to sate the masses with another clone album.
